Scans from ‘Wave UFO’ by Mariko Mori (1999-2002)
“Wave UFO is a large-scale architectural structure, which was built after three years of research. The shimmering silver exterior of the Wave UFO resembles a spaceship in the shape of a water droplet.
There are three ‘Technogel’ chairs, which allow the visitors to recline on a comfortable, spongy surface. While reclining on the chairs, the visitors watch a seven minute video projection on the ceiling. Before entering the structure, each individual is outfitted with a set of electrodes that gather brainwave data. Next, the data is transformed into visual imagery in real-time correspondence with the current activity of the brain, which is then projected onto the screen.”

1.马尔萨斯陷阱,以政治经济学家托馬斯·羅伯特·馬爾薩斯命名,认为对大部分人类历史来说,收入停滞的原因是因为技术的进步与发现仅仅造成人口的增加而没有提高人类的生活水平。托马斯·罗伯特·马尔萨斯在他1798年出版的《人口论》中预言:“人口增长超越食物供应,会导致人均占有食物的减少,最弱者就会因此而饿死。”
“I think I may make fairly two postulata. First, that food is necessary to the existence of man. Secondly, that the passion between the sexes is necessary and will remain nearly in its present state ... Assuming then my postulata as granted, I say, that the power of population is infinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man. Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio. Subsistence increases only in an arithmetical ratio. A slight acquaintance with numbers will show the immensity of the first power in comparison of the second. By the law of our nature which makes food necessary to the life of man, the effects of these two unequal powers must be kept equal. This implies a strong and constantly operating check on population from the difficulty of subsistence. This difficulty must fall somewhere and must necessarily be severely felt by a large portion of mankind....”
“This natural inequality of the two powers, of population, and of production in the earth, and that great law of our nature which must constantly keep their efforts equal, form the great difficulty that appears to me insurmountable in the way to the perfectibility of society...The checks which repress the superior power of population, and keep its effects on a level with the means of subsistence, are all resolvable into moral restraint, vice and misery. “... this constantly subsisting cause of periodical misery has existed ever since we have had any histories of mankind, does exist at present, and will for ever continue to exist, unless some decided change takes place in the physical constitution of our nature.”
“Positive checks ... are extremely various, and include every cause ... which in any degree contributes to shorten the natural duration of human life. Under this head, therefore, may be enumerated all unwholesome occupations, severe labour and exposure to the seasons, extreme poverty, bad nursing of children, great towns, excesses of all kinds, the whole train of common diseases and epidemics, wars, plague, and famine.”
And if, from the laws of nature, some check to the increase in population be absolutely inevitable, and human institutions have any influence on the extent to which each of these checks operates, a heavy responsibility will be incurred, if all that influence, whether direct or indirect, be not exerted to diminish the amount of vice or misery.”
Malthus argued against the widely held view of his day that a nation’s resource was determined by the size of its population and that fertility added to national wealth. From his humane concern for the sufferings caused by overpopulation arose his anxiety that the poor-laws should not lead to a relaxation of moral restraint and large families. By moral restraint he meant delayed marriage and sexual abstinence for adults until they were economically able to support their children. While it was generally supposed that Malthus was in favour of contraception, in fact as an Anglican minister he disapproved of it. However, others took a different view and the English sociologist, Francis Page, himself the father of 15 children, drew attention to the value of contraception in the 1820s, writing: “ ... once it has become the custom ... to limit the number of children so that none need have more than they wish to have, no man will fear to take a wife, all will be married while young—debauchery will diminish— while good morals, and religious duties will be promoted.”3 The movement for birth control gradually gained momentum in the years that followed with the final breakthrough in the next century, thanks in particular to two remarkable women, Margaret Sanger in the United States and Marie Stopes in Great Britain.
In 1819 Malthus was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, in 1821 a member of the Political Economy Club, and in 1824 a royal associate of the Royal Society of Literature. In 1834 he was one of the cofounders of the Royal Statistical Society. Honours also came to him from France and Germany.

3. 黑死病 Black Death ( plague pandemic)
The Black Death, also known as the Pestilence, Great Bubonic Plague, the Great Plague or the Plague, or less commonly the Great Mortality or the Black Plague, was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people in Eurasia, peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351.[1][2][3] The bacterium Yersinia pestis, which results in several forms of plague (septicemic, pneumonic and, the most common, bubonic), is believed to have been the cause.[4] The Black Death was the first major European outbreak of plague and the second plague pandemic.[5] The plague created a number of religious, social and economic upheavals, with profound effects on the course of European history.

童年

我在想如果我们训练自己在某段时间一直听某一首歌,听某一段节奏,是否能建立自我的记忆节点存库??
-林海音
音像/
有几秒钟,当我在听歌的时候,从现实中抽离,当我在倒回去听时,当我再倒回去看时,找不到那种感觉了。音乐和气味是私人的记忆���。像是灵魂出窍一样的感觉。当我突然回到了过去的土壤的味道,回到某个世界节点,那几刻,真的是人生的至高点。
最初带入音乐,‘童年’ ‘游梦园’ 几秒钟 然后再最后的时候重新带入。
转头回到原来的地方,声音重启。

长大了以后的那种相思是没有办法解的,我很怕有一天我会忘记小时候的那些事,我常说我想家了,但是这个家是回不去的,这个和地域某种层面上没有关系,这个是记忆的思念,为什么这么说,我从小在很多城市长大过,那对我来说,事实上北京是我的故乡,或者说我以前长大的那个院子是我的家。但我成长中周转过很多城市,我每次感受到它的时候,首先就是从飞机上下来时闻到的土地的味道,我相信每个城市的味道是特殊的,是很有记忆点的。北京的首都国际机场,广州机场,深圳宝安机场,胡志明新山一机场,还有布里斯班机场。。每个地方有不同的味道。
我在伦敦经常闻到不同的家的味道,有时候和季节和天气有关,就会阴差阳错的调和出家的味道,小雨过后路过一家有些塑料味的便利店门口,有点��闷的,一瞬间我好像回到在深圳住的那段时间,小区后面海鲜市场和海边的味道,然后我就很想家,但那确切的说也不是我的家。(顿) 好像人寻求的是安全感,或者说曾经拥有安全感的过去某个节点。也不算是想家。
很可悲的一点是,当我离家最近的时候,我离家最远。我内心最恐惧最不安,最没有安全感的时候,是我在北京的家里的时候。和朋友,和父母,和周围环境的格格不入,生���。有时候我没办法反对他们,因为我知道,他们没有变,本质上是我在发生改变,我只能选择缄默,而每次回家,我的缄默就越来越长。
我小时候在那个大院里,

People are losing the ability of shutting down the background noise of the world , music will stop people to be able to listen silent all together.
Wherever we are, our body makes sound, there is no such thing of silent environment, as long as you are in your body, you always hearing something.creating a environment with no distruction wasnt about creating silence, is not about controlling noise, it was about the sound were already here.but you suddenly here for the first time, when you really ready to listen.
